WOW, this changes... almost nothing! Great deal for four mana.

Agreed, this would remain a casual card, since its cost excludes it from most competitive play, along with the simple fact that most casual players wouldn't want this kind of restriction. If it was in Bant colors it could serve as some weird Exalted helper...

Can combo with Thundermare (reduces retaliation), also helpful for large tramplers, and creatures with 'haste, remove from play at end of turn'.
Would be a good choice to turn into a plane in the next round of Planechase.

Useful for stopping big rushes against a casual burn deck.

not the strongest card ever, but it changes combat math in red which red control decks can use. Playable but not awesome

@Guest: "If it was in Bant colors" --> See Dueling Grounds. That actually fits exalted, as it limits it to only one creature, and your exalted creature can't be blocked by 2 creatures, like would happen with Caverns of Despair. Plus Dueling Grounds is an entire mana cheaper, which helps a lot.

Goblin War Drums makes one of your creatures unblockable basically... opponents choice... so still not very good haha

Crawlspace is pretty superior to this, but can be shatter'd I guess

well the color is off, but really, Imagine a red green deck with big creatures, your opponents couldn't pile on blockers to kill your stuff. Seems useful to me, if not amazing.

My two creatures: Ulamog's Toe

I guess this card could make for some fun casual, just because 'fun' usually remains with casual, and quirky decks are the only ones that would have a home for this. Still, meh.

This is the card Crawlspace reminded me of.
